That seems to be for "obsolete" modules. Should deprecated modules be moved there as well? I had proposed a middle ground, where they were moved to a separate directory, but that directory was (by default) included on the search path. Moving deprecated modules to lib-old (not on the search path at all) seems to risk breaking code. -jJ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
